Ning entered the library and looked around. But before he could even see any part of the 2-story-tall library properly, the old woman dragged him off to a  secluded section of the library and entered a room.

Ning followed and found that he was in a rather giant room that was filled to the brim with books and scrolls.

A bright green-haired girl was working on something at one of the desks in the room and turned around when the two of them entered.

"What are you studying?" the old woman asked.

"Just learning the… symbols for limbs of the… beasts," the girl's answer slowed down as she saw Ning and put on a confused look. "Who's he?" 

"Didn't I tell you yesterday I had a new assistant? This is he," the old woman introduced. She went on to take off her coat and brought out some scrolls while the girl kept staring at Ning.
